Umotong's assist not enough as Lewes lose to Crystal Palace

Ini Umotong provided an assist as Lewes ended their English FA Women's Championship campaign on a disappointing note following a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

After a recent 1-0 triumph over champions Leicester City, Simon Parker's side were looking to wrap up their season on a high at Palace but suffered an unfortunate defeat at Hayes Lane.

The 26-year-old had inspired her side's victory over already crowned winners Leicester and was handed her eighth start of the season but her effort could not prevent their loss against Palace.
